I think I'd argue that the Postal Reorganization Act of 1970 is to blame[0]. In short, postal workers prior to this law were not allowed to engage in collective bargaining. They went on strike to protest this, and this bill, in respons

That's really awesome of you. I work in nightlife occasionally, and I keep a few doses with me (graciously provided from a local mutual aid network). The events I work with almost always have some stashed in their first aid as well. It

This is probably a good reminder to anyone reading: if you can, get yourself naloxone and keep it with your first-aid supplies. You can get it without a prescription in most places, and there are many programs that will give you a few doses

I think tying allergies to this research probably takes some effort. I will say, as someone in a similar boat, that I've gotten a lot of benefit from regular ol' allergy shots, as well as from low-grade steoroids like fluticasone

I have pretty garbage short-term memory in addition to (or because of) ADHD. I made a macOS app to let me take screenshots of parts of a screen and keep them around while I work, essentially extending my own short term memory. I call it Scr

I was in SF yesterday for the first time in about eight years. I can't say I witnessed crimes, but I will say that the homelessness problem is much, much worse than I remember. It's hard to see any of these problems changing witho

Here's my personal site, built using 11ty. It's essentially a glorified business card, but I like the way it looks and I can say that I made it from scratch. https://salem.io

I’ve been reading a really interesting book on accidents [0]. One of the things mentioned off the bat was that when cars were first introduced to cities, there was a strong push for them to have speed governors because they killed so many p

I make music and sell it on Bandcamp as a way to raise funds to donate to nonprofits. It’s been a reliably honest website, and a fantastic source of both music and validation. Although it’s really tempting to speculate otherwise, I really h

One thing they mentioned that kinda sends it home to me is that the telescope is aimed at the dark and away from the sun, and the other side is especially reflective[0]. In other words, one side is too dark to see, and the other is too brig

I kinda like that these misbrands are all done in the style of a competing technology, or a misconception that would kinda bother people (like vim / vscode, rust / go, or angular / react).

I agree with this article in premise. I think about it a lot when it comes to masking up. I'm pretty religious about that, but when I see people on the subway going maskless, I sometimes think about whether I'm being ridiculous or

A build issue could totally be it. I feel like that's really common in the frontend / NPM world if you're not careful: if two of your dependencies rely on a third sub-dependency, but those dependencies have specific and incom

I think that by the time you're at the top of a mountain without cell service, you're already locked in to an app that won't let you record your position.

I'm on vacation in France and I've been really surprised to see that the ground connections in wall sockets is a pin (rather than a port). I couldn't believe that this site was on HN, and of course there's a whole page o

It’s a minifier. I am not sure if tsc minifies your code for you or not, but if it doesn’t, you’d definitely want that in your build step. It’ll shrink your built files considerably, and it’s a pretty standard, uncomplicated tool.

I read about that migration when we were first starting! That seemed like a really serious amount of work — congrats on seeing it through to the end.

We've been a bit apprehensive about using `as` in the codebase in general, but I hear you on that instance not being as big of a deal. Regarding RTK Query, we have used it, a little! I'm going to pass this thread along to the team

In general, TypeScript allows us to write code without worrying about run-time validation — if something says it's a string, we can trust it to be a string. However, this assumption falls apart at the edges between our typed and our un

I agree with you that our industry should spend more time training frontend engineers. Frontend is often treated as an afterthought, which ends up being very costly in the long run. That being said, the addition of types was definitely not

We still typecheck and build in different steps due to speed; we can build our JS much faster than TS can with Babel + Webpack. We also have a bunch of old custom features that our build system needs to support, so bolting them onto tsc was

Honestly, RTK made migrating our existing Redux code to TS so much easier. I really can't thank you enough. We often had teams adopt RTK (in favor of some internal Redux-based helper methods) before helping them migrate other files. In

Yes — @humphrey is correct here. Literally being able to add type annotations (and validate that nothing fishy happened in production) took a very short period of time, but everything else was the hard part. Also, I'd love to hear what

Same, and New York. Anecdotal evidence doesn't really amount to much though, since prices fluctuate wildly from place to place (i.e. Pittsburgh is cheaper than New York, regardless of the inflation index).

I think the numbers on traffic injuries and fatalities really do speak for themselves. A full percent of the US population gets injured by cars every year — that's a pretty staggering number. I'm not a fan of the reasoning the art

I think this kinda makes sense to me — the M1 Max has the same cores as the M1, just more of them and more of the performant ones, if I understand it right. The fastest work on the fastest core, when only working on a single core, is probab
